A Little Country Creativity

07/26/2010

Hope you all had a great weekend! I had lots of fun this weekend. Had nice weather and our family reunion got to spend time with my cousins. However that sure didn't leave much time to stamp! lol

Welcome to Monday's 3D Challenge! I came up with a pretty simple idea. We were talking about the kids going back to school yesterday and I got to thinking about all the pencils I bought a long time ago and how I should donate them to my cousin for her classroom, so I came home and pulled them out and thought the wrapper was so bleh on them. lol So then the light bulb went on and thought hey you could make a much more prettier wrapper for them, so in that moment a 3D Challenge idea was born! lol

Today's share is the
3D Challenge I posted over on Stampin' Addicts
website! If you never been check it

Directions~

1. Cut 1 piece of Poppy Parade card stock 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". Then score at the following measurements 1/2",2 1/4",2 3/4",4 1/2". In the second picture below shows what it should look like after scoring.

2. Cut 1 piece of Early Espresso card stock 1 1/2" x 3 1/4"

3. Cut 1 piece of DSP In Color (Level 1 Hostess). I took the apple from the Tart and Tangy set, inked in Poppy Parade stamped off on scratch paper and then stamped onto the DSP. I did this several times randomly. I then sponged the edges with Early Espresso ink. On the bottom I placed 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon Pear Pizzazz and tied it. I then took the owl from Forest Friends inked it in Early Espresso and stamped it on Crumb Cake card stock. I punched it out with the 1" Circle Medium Punch. I then clipped one of our Clips from the Clip Assortment off to the side to hold it in place. I tied a piece of Natural Hemp Twine around the clip. To finish it off I used my Big Shot along with my Billboard Sizzlet Decorative Strip and some Crumb Cake card stock. I ran some letters off and then sponged them with Early Espresso ink and placed them off to the left. Once Step 1 and 2 are put together I placed Stampin' Dimensionals on the back.
